Community Service in New Orleans
Years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, help is still needed
By Adilenne Mendez and Aaliyah Wycoff
I WANT to start by giving a huge shout-

out to Pathways in Education (PIE) for
allowing us to come along for these once
in a lifetime and eye-opening experiences.
I can definitely say so much about our stay
in New Orleans and all the great adventures
we experienced, starting with the great
chaperones we had and how having these
cool adults with us and seeing how they
learned, as well as participated, in all
activities really inspired us to give our best.
As I look back to when we were told
about New Orleans and how it was a new
trip made as an opportunity to give back
to a community miles away from home, I
notice how I found myself really intrigued
in knowing how things would come to be

and the many tasks that would have to
be done. Once we had the New Orleans
orientation, I became really excited to hear
all about the cool places we’d be visiting and
how we would be working hand in hand
with the Lower Nine Organization.
But the best part was definitely being
in Louisiana, in the Lower Ninth itself,
and standing and working in the homes of
those who were affected by the devastation
really made us feel useful. It was eye
opening seeing that even after 13 years
there was still lots of work to be done in
Louisiana. The Lower Ninth Ward was still
very damaged and many still can’t come
back to their homes and still to this day
have to live away from where their home

was. Some peoples’ houses were lifted and
actually moved away from the original
spot. Since it already is very expensive to
pay for the supplies, the organization that
we worked with took volunteers to the cost
of manpower needed to rebuild the houses.
In my group’s experience we got to meet
the owner and his wife and kids and I think
everyone in my group could feel how great
it was to see the people we were helping.
The owner was even a chef and brought us
lunch one of the days. Although we worked
little compared to the great need, I think
we can all agree that we felt like we made a
positive change that no one can take away
from us.

RECENTLY, FROM April 16 through the
21st, Pathways in Education was able to take 34
students just like yourself to universities farther
than the normal ones in NorCal College Tours.
During the course of the trip, we went to colleges
in both West Oregon and Eastern Washington,
and were even able to stay in a dormitory.
The trip was a huge opportunity for both
our school and for Pathways. Since this was a
pilot (the first of its kind, a test) trip, only select
students were chosen to attend. But due to its

A senior’s view of the event
By Christie Na

ON MAY 3rd, Thursday night, graduating
seniors gathered at The Odyssey to celebrate
their accomplishments of getting into a fouryear university. Teachers, administrators, and
families were also there to congratulate their
hard work and share the joy.
The OFL staff put a lot of effort into
making this evening special. The room hada
luxurious ambience with grand chandeliers
and a great view. The food was amazing with
salad for starters, appetizing tofu, chicken
or steak entrees, and satisfying cake and ice
cream for dessert.
After dinner was finished, each student
presented a speech and announced which
college they’ll be attending this fall. In
their speeches, the students shared their

experience throughout high school and
their future plans. It was a great moment in
which students could verbally express their
gratitude to their teachers and families. With
the students’ and teachers’ hard work and
support from their families, the seniors were
able to get into a variety of colleges: CSUs,
UCs, and out of state.
Seniors also signed a Letter of Intent starting
that they will devote their time and energy to
obtain a bachelor’s degree as a full-time college
student. Students these days do not sign their
statement of intent to register with pen and
paper as everything is done digitally. But signing
a physical copy showed firm resolution for the
students to continue to pursue their goals.
After making a toast, the students

received a heartwarming gift from OFL. In
fancy black bags in the middle of the dining
table, students found college t-shirts of the
schools they’ll be attending.
The rest of the evening ended with group
photos of everyone holding up their college
t-shirts and socializing with close friends and
teachers. We are proud of all the seniors for
their hard work to get to this point. Some
didn’t even think about going to college,
some are first generation college students,
and some had personal difficulties. Working
towards going to college hasn’t been an easy
journey but the seniors persevered and got an
opportunity to pursue their dreams. We also
thank OFL for making this such an enjoyable
and memorable night. We will not forget it!

Engineering Design Challenge

It was a rollercoaster of a day as students from OFLs/OFYs all across Southern California competed
By Allyia Castro

A DAY filled with tension and excitement
for all the teams, players, and staff unraveled
in the Engineering Design Challenge. It
was a great day for the OFL Reseda team
as their hard work and determination
brought them 3rd place in the challenge,
where they all received gift cards to Target
as their prize. They came to redeem their
victory after winning first place at their first
Engineering Design Challenge where they
received Kindles as their prize, but third
place seemed to be what they strived for
in the end.
Their journey to success started with
an early morning to what would be an
overall productive day. Once everyone was

settled and the day slowly started to begin,
the teams were given 15 minutes to come
up with a plan and an idea of what their
projects would aim to be. After 15 minutes
the teams were then given two hours to
construct their roller coasters. They were
given sheets of cardstock paper and an
instructions sheet that listed the points
for the different tricks that could be used
throughout their roller coaster. The team
with the most points would win.
The OFL Reseda team came to a halt
when their thinking began to get the better
of them. During this time the staff began to
give them encouragement and helped them
to be mindful of the tools they were given.

Jose even gave some words of encouragement
to the team telling them to “pretend [they]
are the marble” and soon enough the team
got back into action.
When the examination for the roller
coasters began, the staff would come around in
groups to inspect, test the roller coasters, and
tally the points each team received during the
examination process. When it was over, all the
teams began to tear apart their two hours of hard
work until it turned into crumpled up paper.
At the end each team received participation
certificates and our very own OFL Reseda team
came home with third place medals. That medal
was the only prize Desiree Ponciano would not
want to share with her mom.

>>”College Tour” continued from front page
overwhelming success, this tour may be open for
all qualifying students in the future.
This particular trip focused on a program
known most commonly as the Western
Undergraduate Exchange (WUE). This program
allows students in the western region to go to
out-of-state schools for a lowered tuition rate.
Typically, out-of-state tuition fees are close to,
if not more than, double the price for in-state
students; under the WUE, out-of-state tuition is
closer to the normal in-state price. At Western
Oregon University, for example, tuition for an
in-state student is ~$7,500 annually, while outof-state tuition is as much as ~$21,000. That’s
more than double the normal cost of tuition!
However, with the WUE, tuition for out-of-state
students is only ~$12,000 annually. This is a huge
difference for students who dream of leaving
California for college.
As a student, this trip was incredibly inspiring,

opening many door to the future. On the trip, we
visited a variety of schools from small technology
campuses to large liberal arts colleges. In all, we
toured Oregon Technical Institute, Portland
State, Western Oregon, Eastern Washington,
and Washington State University.
But don’t think that the trip is all work!
Yes, students complete a workbook during the At Multnomah Falls in Portland, Oregon
trip, but that is definitely not all that happens.
We were able to visit Portland and explore the
town, traveling to the famous food trucks and
going to Powell’s City of Books, the largest
bookstore in the region. In addition we were
able to visit Multnomah Falls, gift shops, and
much more!
If you have not been on any College Tour, we
strongly encourage you to sign up for the next
one. While you may not go out of state, you still
will get to fly, travel, learn about college life and
financial aid, and make lots of friends!

2018 OFL Graduate Speech
Speech by Benjamin Eslamieh
HELLO PARENTS, teachers and students. My
name is Benjamin Eslamieh and I am here to
welcome you all to the 2018 Opportunities for
Learning graduation. Shout-out to the fish and
my brother from work (yes, I work with fish, and
no it’s not the fish you eat it’s the pets; saltwater not
fresh because I like beauty and exotic things, not
some goldfish). Anyways... I am especially proud
to graduate because when I started OFL back in
late 2015, I was a person who didn’t have much
hope in other schools and was just afraid of reality
and what my future might be. I was a person who
didn’t seem to care what my future would turn
into. I was failing all my classes, being a nuisance
to my parents and teachers and was just overall,
a failure. When you start to go down one route
of failure, you start to get comfortable and just
inherit it. I was unfortunately that person, until I
was suspended from my old school.
I wanted to change the person who I was.
So I joined a program that helped me get back
on my feet: OFL. I have to admit, I didn’t like it
there at all for the first few months... until I was
welcomed by open arms to an amazing person
named Ethan. Ethan was a student who showed
me how to stay relaxed and love the school for
what it is: a big old family. I started to hang out
with others and just start amazing friendships
that I still have to this day. Ethan left OFL when
I started tenth grade (he was having a child and
decided he needed to go work to provide his
family), but fortunately we still talk and I tell
him that I took his advice to be as real as I can
no matter what, and to never change for anyone,
remaining true to myself first before anyone else. I
took that advice and spread it between all students
at OFL. OFL is sometimes called an “independent
study” program, but OFL is really what you make
it. I found that the school and the people in it
are at their best when they get together and get
things done together, so I created this wonderful
thing my friends and I call the “homework hub.”
This is an example of how I spread the mindset of
being true and connecting with others by starting
a “Discord” for homework; for those who don’t
know what Discord is, it’s an app that allows us to
communicate with each other. This group allows
friends to just hang out and get school work done
and, as a matter of fact, the people in the hub
have been turning in more units than usual and
that allowed them to be here today with me. I’ve
learned that we are more powerful connected
and together than separated and alone; we need
more bridges connecting us, not walls dividing us.
But before I started to grow up to become the
person I am today, I was a person who would
play computer games and act like nothing else
existed in the world. I would ignore my mother
and chores for countless months. But one day, my
mother became too overworked and asked me to
work at our family business every saturday. So I
decided to give up my pathetic “free” life and start
working and providing for my family. I worked

and balanced out homework and school while
still trying to be a teenager.
The customers really hated me in the
beginning since I didn’t know much about
saltwater fish and aquariums. Honestly, I really
only knew how to lift heavy things. My brother
would get in countless fights with my mom
saying things like, “Why would you tell him to
join the store?” Back then, I would go home and
feel absolutely like trash and not be happy at all.
But from working with him, I’ve learned that my
brother takes his business very seriously so I now
understand that something that could potentially
ruin it would make him mad.
And through it all, I never let the hard times
stop me. I worked harder and harder every single
day, I just kept swimming and kept swimming,
until I was so exhausted that I could barely lift
a 25lb water jug. And after I couldn’t lift heavy
things anymore, I needed to find another use
for myself at the store. I stayed up countless
nights watching videos on corals and fish. It took
months of training, and working more and more
hours, to make me finally understand how to
stay dedicated and work hard for goals I wanted
in that store, and hopefully it made my brother
happy as well; looking at you right now, Daniel!
Let me tell you: I have a horrific schedule. I
work every day until 8pm, meaning after I leave
school I go straight to work. I dealt with my mother
leaving America to go back home to Austria, I
dealt with depression and all that teenage stuff,
but every time I opened the doors to OFL I just
felt like I was welcomed. I started caring about
school and making sure my grades were good
since my new school just felt more like a family
than an academic area. Coming from nothing and
potentially turning into something much greater
than I already set myself to be makes me feel a lot
better about myself. I was finally happy.
OFL saved me by allowing me to catch up
and graduate, and I cannot thank the lovely
people here anymore than I already have. It’s
a magnificent school that allows people of all
different backgrounds, from students who
came from schools where they were considered
“delinquents”, or were considered as “prey” to
bullies and predators, OFL has allowed us to
come together under one roof as one. I would
like to take this time to thank Leo Portugal, the
man who’s helped me throughout these last three
years because he changed my thought on school
and showed me how to make it fun. Thank you
to everyone who helped within these few years:
Ethan, Jackie, Nicole, Angie, Kathleen, Josh and
Natalie, and of course Mr. LeoPol.
Last thing I would like to say is that I
appreciate everyone who came, after long
months of struggling, through the good and the
bad, and especially through government. We
did it! I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR
FUTURE ENDEAVOURS. Thank you OFL and
thank you all for listening!

STUDENT VOICES

Wyoming is NOT Real
Opinion-Editorial by Ben Eslamieh
IT’S A hot day in the month of July. You and
your family are driving through Idaho, and out
of nowhere, you just start driving in a straight
road where the sky is black and there’s nothing
around for miles on end. You are driving through
what the government wants you to believe is
“Wyoming.” You are now a part of some type of
testing to understand how gullible the average
American is when the government spoon feeds
us this lie.
The United States is a large place. It’s the
third largest country in the world. “Wyoming”
is apparently the tenth largest state in the U.S.A.
It’s 97,813.56 square miles of land and water, but
why is it so empty? The government depicts that
Wyoming has a population of 563,626 people. But
Washington D.C., our nation’s capital, has a larger
population than that. Something is definitely not
adding up since you have all this land but such
a low population. In comes the evidence that it
doesn’t exist since we really haven’t met anyone
from this so called state; it’s fake news. Tell me right
now that you’ve met a person from Wyoming. I
would love to chat with this extraterrestrial being
since it’s impossible to meet someone from there
because it doesn’t exist. Secondly, we have to take
on the big facts about their taxes. “State spending
per capita: $9,986 (2nd highest) • Federal aid as
a % of revenue: 39.6% (12th highest) • State sales
tax rate: 4.00% (tied for 2nd lowest) Wyoming, in
addition to not collecting any individual income
taxes, is one of just four states that does not collect
any corporate income tax.” Why is that? Why is its
state income tax the lowest when they can send
millions to live there? I have the answer: because
it doesn’t exist.
“Wyoming” is a “state” that was made by the
highest of secret organizations to distract from
reality and persuade it is a state. But I won’t be
a sheep like the rest of the population. Hear me
out: “Wyoming” has this insane super volcano
known as Yellowstone that could change the face
of the earth. With that much power comes a lot of
covering up. These secret societies use this “super
volcano” to scare the general public and keep
them away from this dangerous illusion we know
as “Wyoming.” Anyone who says they are from
Wyoming are secretly in the government and are
agents sent to your house to murder you. If they
represent something else they can be annihilated,
vaporized one could say, shout out to Big Brother.
Have you ever heard of anyone famous dying in
“Wyoming?” If you search that up, it’s all country
singers and politicians, basically showing that
people who die in “Wyoming” are irrelevant
genre singers and government officials. Why
is that? Well it’s easy, the government runs this
project and puts these singers to make you just

go like “eh” to their death, but not today.
If you search up an image of the “Wyoming”
border, you’d see an image that shows miles of
nothing, a sign that says “Wyoming, like no place
on earth.” But why is it when you look at the sky,
it seems like there’s a dome around the entire
“state.” Well, that’s because it’s a testing for the
government’s pleasure. It’s a sickening thing to
think about, but it’s very logical. If you ask any
immigrant, and trust me I come from a family
full of them, and ask them to name all states, the
one they always forget about is “Wyoming.” Why
is that? Well, my father and mother both said
they didn’t really care about that state. They didn’t
even know it existed. But that’s exactly what
they want you to do: forget about it and carry
on with your everyday activities. Have you ever
wondered where all your hard earned money
ends up? The secret societies’ land of “Wyoming.”
They are funding the “state” to equip it against the
civilians in case we ever revolt. A private military
funded state is something everyone should worry
about but they depict it as a “state of happiness”
so nobody worries about it. Recently a plane
crashed in “Wyoming” leaving no survivors. It’s
ironic how the state that doesn’t exist had people
fly over it and the people didn’t make it out. It’s
simple. Connect the dots. It’s people like the two
who died that believed “Wyoming” didn’t exist
and were annihilated.
The scary truth about this is that something
so little can turn into something so scary.
“Wyoming” makes the average American nod
their head but people like myself and others
start to shiver because we know what will
happen to all in the United States if we don’t
stop this disgusting foundation. If you go on
Urban Dictionary, the definition of “Wyoming”
is “Supposedly a state in the United States. It is
a vast government conspiracy. If you think you
are driving through Wyoming, you are really
unconscious in a secret government facility
where scientists are implanting false memory
engrams into your mind. This knowledge is
commonly introduced to high school freshmen.”
Scary huh, how a widely used dictionary knows
the truth better than most American people.
Wyoming is just full of people who are being
paid to make the average American believe it
exists. The thing that scares me the most is how
the population of America ignores this state
more and more everyday and we keep following
exactly what they want.
If you are a person who believes Wyoming
exists, you are an idiot or a sheep that needs to
stop believing the government’s spoon fed lies. If
anyone tells you they are from “Wyoming”, they
are being paid to tell you that.

Teacher Strikes Continue Across the Country
Teachers shouldn’t have to strike (opinion-editorial)
By Christie Na

TEACHERS ALL across the U.S. have been
going on strike and voicing their disapproval
towards the school board’s horribly low pay.
Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Arizona went on
strike and most recently Colorado had been
involved as well. Teachers held up signs saying
“Stop Starving Teachers” in response to the
lack of support from the school district for
their reasonable requests.
The teachers requested that they have
a two percent raise and $30 per month for
health insurance, but the school district
stated that they cannot afford it. Instead,
they offered to give “$1000 bonuses for this
year, cost-of-living-raises next school year,
and $50 a month towards health insurance
beginning in September 2018”, but some say
this isn’t enough (Atencio). This is agreeable
as the average national pay for teachers is

is $52,728 compared to $47,617 under
the Colorado Department of Education
(Atencio). This is a serious problem as this
causes teachers to quit which can leave
several absent positions for the school to fill
(Atencio). This in turn can have a negative
effect on the students’ learning.
However, salary wasn’t the only issue on
the teachers’ minds. The school board not
only underpaid its teachers, but it failed to
provide students with the necessary tools

Big Boss Man
A short story
Written and illustrated by Japhet Mondragon

IN A world where Toxic Masculinity, a
heinous man, is a man, he scares all men
and sleeps with his manly teddy bear when
he goes to sleep. His teddy bear is an actual
adult bear, that’s how manly he is. He soon
gained fame across the land and many
manly followers. Soon the world was his,
and he called the land Manhood. He went
on a rampage after hearing a prophecy that
a babe would be born and that this babe
would turn Toxic Masculinity’s heart to
jelly. He began crushing the dreams of as
many newborns as he could, forcing the
newborns to become manly and hate tears.
Thinking he was rid of the prophecy, doom
began to lurk!
A sudden cloud of rain clouded the city
of Manhood. Rain began to fall and it was
a sign of change. Since Toxic’s reign it had
never once rained in the land of Manhood.
Lightning struck, and Big Boss Man was

born. His name: Brocco Lee.
Years passed and Brocco Lee began his
journey by causing a ruckus in the town
bar. “HEYAH!” Brocco Lee strikes a man!
“What was that for that for?” the man asks.
“Because I didn’t like the way you looked
at me!” Beginning to cry and filled with
emotions Brocco Lee cries out, “ Ahhh,
such a hideous look!” With a final cry
he defeats the man and his gang as tears
and emotions came out of his eyes. From
this moment on Toxic Masculinity finally
noticed Brocco Lee.
One day, Brocco Lee arrived at Toxic
Masculinity’s doorstep. A “ding ding” rang
out as he poked the doorbell.
The buzzer answered in a cheery voice,
“Who is it?”
“It’s Big Boss Man,” replied Brocco Lee.
“OHHH GREAT! I THOUGHT IT WAS
THE GIRL SCOUTS!!!!”
Brocco Lee began to cry. “How dare you
talk to me that way!”
“Don’t be a girl.”
“FINE I WON’T. I’LL MAKE YOU
CRY INSTEAD.”
Brocco Lee comenced to fight Toxic in
the battle of the ages. “HEYAH!” Brocco Lee
cried as he was about to take his last punch
and (boom!) Toxic began to cry.
“NO, stop I‘m sorry, I won’t do
anything anymore!”
Brocco Lee watched Toxic break out
into a pitiful bubble of emotions. Brocco
Lee looked at the world and was satisfied
with the tears. He had finally ended Toxic
Masculinity’s reign through the righteous
use of physical violence. Thanks to his
bold actions, the world didn’t change, and
they all lived bitterly ever after.

Poem by Hailie Hanson
I’ve heard so many stories about you…
You loved to draw…
I love to draw too…
I’ve seen your art, it puts me in awe…
Daddy said you guys would ride horses…
Along the countryside and camp…
You saved daddy from a cliff ’cause of the horse…
All the obstacles you would course through…
You seemed to be an amazing person…
What I would do to meet you…
Just once would be enough…
I don’t think it would make our life worsen…
But who knows, as I know the chaos theory…
But we would have so much in common…
We would be best friends…
Even though I never met you…
I still love you just as much…
Your grandson was named after you…
We all love you a bunch…
I don’t think there’s a day where me, your mom, or daddy…
Don’t think about you..
How could we not…
I wanna meet my grandaddy…
Daddy wants his daddy back…
I would want mine back too…
Because I always knew…
That I’ll never meet you…
You were so young…
You’re death stung…
But at least the family got memories…
To hold on to…
Before you left…
I think we would all...
Rather feel the pain of missing you…
Than not feeling at all....
We all love you Grampa Perry…
We will never forget you…

her childhood friend, Chloe, after not speaking
to her for five years. When they reunite, the
two set out to find Chloe’s other friend who is
missing, Rachel Amber. Max repeatedly uses her
powers, still confused about the tornado visions
she keeps having. Doing so, they find themselves
stuck in the middle of a million other situations.
This game’s plot revolves around the butterfly
effect and chaos theory and the consequences
of time travel, so make sure to really be cautious
and observant when playing it.
As you play, you explore various locations
in the fictional setting of Arcadia Bay and
communicate with its citizens. Dialogue
exchanges can be rewound, and once an event
is reset, you can use what you learned about
people to manipulate them and/or make them
feel better. In some instances, choices in dialogue
will alter and affect the story through short or
long-term consequences. For each one of the
choices, something good in the short-term could
turn out worse later. The time travel power is also
used to solve puzzles in creative ways.
I encourage you to play this as it is a really
good game that was made by geniuses. Many
Youtubers have played it and it’s also worth
watching other people play (especially if you are
unable to play yourself). WARNING: It is a very
emotional game.

Hulu. I’m certain that season 2 is as good if
not better, and hopefully, Netflix will upload
season 2 soon.
